11:30 pm
when it comes to dining out our minds are usually on the food and not necessarily the rest rapt's kitchen rating. most counties have some way of scoring kitchens whether it's points, colors, or letter grades. >> if there's one bay area county that doesn't have a scoring system of any kind.
11:31 pm
we dug through years of rest ran inspection reports in santa care clara county. tonight her investigation reveals a broken system in silicon valley. >> have you ever been shut down or anything? >> 25 years. >> have you ever been shut down? >> no. >> never shut down? >> no. >> reporter: these restaurant employees don't know they're on camera. >> have you ever had problems here or anything? >> no. >> reporter: those answers are not true. as you're about to see, when it comes to health code violations in santa clara county, diners are left in the dark. how important is it that the public is aware of what's happening a restaurants? >> oh, it's very important. >> reporter: meet heather forshee in charge of the restaurant inspections. since there is no grading system the only way to know if a restaurant has been shut down and why is to schedule an appointment to view the records. but state law does require all restaurants keep a copy of the most recent inspections on hand. if you ask to see it, they have to show it to you.
11:32 pm
so we tested the system to see who was willing -- we want to look at your latest inspection report before we eat. >> reporter: -- to share. >> i can't. >> reporter: he's the manager of this denny's in sunnyvale. >> denny's is different, we have different procedures. we don't share our inspections to our customers. >> how are we supposed to know if it's clean or not? >> it's clean. i mean, fits not clean, they shut us down simple you ever been shut down? >> never. >> reporter: the documents show it was shut down in 2011 because of roaches. they found more roaches living at denny's just last summer. kobe in santa clara claim it was best restaurant known for sushi bar, known by inspectors at the cockroaches at that sushi bar. it was shut down last summer. >> have you ever been shut down or anything? >> 25 years. >> instead of showing us the report they showed us the door.
11:33 pm
>> how are you? >> good. >> reporter: this is yummy buffet in south san jose. the latest inspection report. 16 violations. >> i don't know what they have, what they put in it. >> okay. >> reporter: of the ten rest rans we visited, only one showed us the report. >> oh, great. let's chick it out. >> is this acceptable? >> that is not acceptable. i am disappointed that the restaurants are not providing you with truthful information, any member of the public. what i do want to emphasize is that the public can get this information other ways. >> reporter: like going to the county's website. but even if you go to the trouble to look it up, the information is vague. while it shows categories of violations, it doesn't give any details of what inspectors found. take these two restaurants.
11:34 pm
both cited for vermen. one major, one minor. what does that mean? we pulled the files. the minor violation was for fresh rodent droppings and one rat caught. major was for a dead fly in the whiskey. these two restaurants show enforcement action taken. but why? files show one was closed for a fire, the other, infested with cockroaches. this report on a fast food chain in san jose just says enforcement action. >> i'd have to look at the file and look at this a little bit more closely. this is the first time i've seen it. >> reporter: how are customers supposed to know what this means if you don't know what it means. >> again, i'm looking at this right now for the first time and i would want to take a look at this a little bit more closely. and review it before i can respond to this particular case. >> do you see why i'm having trouble looking at this, how someone at home could have trouble understanding what that
11:35 pm
means? >> yes. i agree that there are -- there are improvements that can be made in this system. >> i think santa claire are county could do more to help people understand what that information means. >> reporter: dr. phil lip leslie is a professor. he conducted this study in the los angeles after the city started the letter grading system. he found food born illnesses dropped almost 30% in three years. he says having information in the window incentivizes restaurants to stay clean and allows diners to make an educated choice of where to eat without having to ask. >> even if all restaurants did have that information on hand, at the restaurant itself, people are still not going to ask for it. that's an awkward moment in a restaurant. you don't want to start out that way. >> reporter: and even if you don't, in santa clara county, sometimes the answer is hard to swallow.
11:36 pm
>> better go home, cook yourself. >> all right. we reached out to management at every rest ran you sue in n. this report. most were unaware of the law. all told us they will educate their employees. denny's is reminding each one in california. she looked into revamping the program in a year but no changes yet. she added that inspectors will be reminding restaurants of the law. if you have a tip for our invest gave it unit, give us a call. san francisco police are searching for a gunman after a deadly overnight shooting. police say they responded to calls of shots being hired in the alamo square neighborhood on the intersection of hayes and webster streets just after 2:00 this morning. they found a 23-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. he dater died at the hospital, as of now, no rest, no known motive for the killing. police are asking anyone with information to call the san

11:39 pm
>> reporter: adding to the urgency of tuesday's speech, the looming zi sequester deadlines that from march 1th in across the board cuts are start to take effect. >> it couldn't have any more self-inflicted wonds. the economy is pose r poised to take off. >> reporter: the president warning those cuts could cause a huge blow to the economy. we certainly blow more tax revenue as a solution. >> every time you turn around the answer is to raise taxeses. you know, he just got his tax hike on the wealthy. you can't in this town every three months raise taxes. >> reporter: well some of the president's most patr, among america's top concerns, mr. obama is expected to cast in economic terms as well. citing along other things, the den fits of at tracking the world's best mind. the president's tone will matter, too. as he faces a choice between confrontation and compromise.
